Is there anyone else here that feels like everything after ~1918 in music has been a huge mistake? Everything in the West started to go in an abstract, academic, direction just when (imo) the greatest music of all time started. Mind you I'm talking about music that has a score, not Jazz, Rock etc. At the end of the Romantic Era, Rachmaninoff, Mahler, Puccini and Strauss took Western music to its zenith. For some reason Stravinsky, the Absurdists, the Second Viennese School and other experimenters broke through 'the roof ' which was great and all, but the resultant domino effect has taken us to where we are today:
>at bar 420 the first and second violins begin hitting their foreheads with their instruments to symbolize the oppression of womyn of color in feudal Japan.
When I was in music school, I used tolerate and perhaps pretend to like atonal/modern music because that was the 'cool' thing to do. Now I believe it lacks all of the best qualities of music, Emotion, proportion, harmony, form, balance and most importantly, meaning are absent from all modern music I've been able to find. If someone thinks this is untrue please show me, I'd love to see what is being made currently that embodies these qualities.
I'm an amateur composer but I have begun to take it very seriously as an art form. I'm looking to collaborate with other composers who feel the same way I do about the state of music today. I want a group of composers, whether I am with them or not, to react against the conservatory/university musical paradigms the way the Mighty Handful reacted against Tchaikovsky and the Western conservatory composers in Russia.
Now I know an art movement is traditionally named by the artists that come after but the world could be ending soon for all we know. I propose Conservative Reactionism, a reactionary movement in music which picks up where the late Romantic era left off.

cont.
The intention is not to have it stagnate in that time forever, but to evolve to new heights. Hopefully it will delay the relapse of music into chaos for a century.
Inb4 that's very Euro-centric of you/ SJW shit

It already exists and has been around for a century, it's named Neo-Romanticism.

After thoroughly exploring post-rock I returned to this album and can conclude that it's by far the best the genre has to offer.

You can call whatever you want music.
But if you don't encode the frames in an MP3 file properly it will fuck up the player, just FYI.

Because it was soft rock that was huge on adult contemporary radio play and crossed over into the mainstream because it was so catchy.
Love Hornsby though.

Here is my shitty 100$ violin, bought it used from a pawn shop. Don't know what kind it is, when I bought it the label was torn out and the price tag said "stradivarious." Probably was stolen and pawned and now I have it. It's alright, I wish I knew what kind of strings to get for it though. I haven't played it in a while but I was playing mostly classical music with some celtic and colonial pieces as well.
